Audi Grandsphere: design and technology
In fully autonomous mode the 5.35-metre-long saloon’s steering wheel and pedals retract into hidden compartments in the dashboard and floor, freeing up even much more space with a design that “reimagines the interior, the passenger compartment, as the centre of the vehicle.”
This centres around a new infotainment system that projects a full-width image onto the wooden surface under the windscreen in level 4 mode; when the chauffeur takes manual control these displays are segmented for the chauffeur and passenger.
